America's obsession with guns

[The Grand Nudger]

Most "gun households" are multigun households.  I'm representative, I have a few.  They all do ever so slightly different things.  My guns, also, have never killed anyone..and there's no reason to suspect that my (or Kusa's) guns ever will, since the crushing majority of guns never do kill anyone even when the owner is a complete and utter dunce.

The stats tell us that even though Kusa imagines some home defender scenario..he will either a: not act as he thinks he will, b-not have access to his firearm, or c, not reach for his firearm even though he has access.  The implied "what if" scenario that exists to serve an imaginary threat is, itself, imaginary.

I wish people would fucking stop making it about "me" and look at the larger long term picture. 

The majority of guns don't have to kill anyone because guns are OBJECTS. But if there is a flooded market and that creates more opportunity for just enough guns to be used by people in mass to cause problems.

Just like the stupid argument Muslims make "not all Muslims", which is a correct statement because MOST MUSLIMS are not terrorists, but in the east, their is a theocratic mindset that is just big enough to cause problems.

If anyone is playing into the bullshit of an "imaginary threat" it would be right wing blind worship of firearms. Nobody on the left I would consider sane wants to ban every single firearm. Just like no liberal Muslim should say that Trump's bullshit ban on Muslims is correct. That still would not negate the collective mindset of those who are the minority causing problems for their own majority.

Yes, right wing nutjobs play to an imaginary threat in order to send a readily exploitable demographic to the polls over this seemingly crucial single-issue voter market.   Whose been working you up, though?  It doesn't sound...to me, like you're reading from the rightwing script, and yet.....you're worked up over an imaginary threat yourself.  So much so that you are, here, attempting to make an analogy between gun ownership and terrorism.  

In any case, whose minority demographic are we talking about?  Hot pistols and gun trafficking have about as much to do with gun owners as they do with you, and even less to do with you or gun owners than islamic terrorism has to do with islam.  

It is all in your head if you think banning big clips or spray riffles will be the end to all firearms. It is all in your head if you stupidly assume no liberals own firearms. 

Again, you need food, you want caviar. You need a car, you want a Lamborghini.

You have a right to be a Muslim, you don't have the right to assault people who criticize Islam.

You have a right to firearms, you dont have a right to a free for all with no regulations.

Where is this gun free for all, with no regulations, occurring?  Who, do you think...thinks there should -be- a free for all with no regulations?  I'm just trying to figure out who or what the target of your criticism is.  

In western society you you either value voting or you dont. If you value voting that means long term, sometimes you dont get everything you want. If you cannot accept compromise then don't claim you value western pluralism.
